Abstract: A foam pump includes a fluid cylinder, an air cylinder, and a mixing chamber, in which the fluid cylinder is adapted to draw a fluid therein in a priming stroke, and to pump the fluid into the mixing chamber in a dispensing stroke, in which the air cylinder is adapted to draw air therein in a priming stroke, and to pump the air into the mixing chamber in a dispensing stroke, in which the mixing chamber includes a fluid throughflow axis, in which the fluid cylinder and the air cylinder are co-axial with one another and are aligned on a second axis which is substantially normal to the fluid throughflow axis, in which the fluid cylinder and the air cylinder are provided with a common piston member, and in which the foam pump includes spring means adapted to bias the common piston member to perform a priming stroke of the fluid cylinder and the air cylinder.

Abstract: A foam pump is disclosed which includes a fluid cylinder, an air cylinder, and a mixing chamber. The mixing chamber includes a fluid throughflow axis, a fluid inlet and an air inlet. The fluid cylinder and the air cylinder both include a stroke axis which is substantially normal to the fluid throughflow axis. The fluid cylinder is adapted to draw a fluid therein in a priming stroke and to pump the fluid into the mixing chamber through the fluid inlet in a dispensing stroke. The air cylinder is adapted to draw air therein in a priming stroke and to pump the air into the mixing chamber through the air inlet in a dispensing stroke. The fluid inlet and the air inlet face in substantially opposite directions.

Abstract: An inner container of sheets to be dispensed, which is adapted to be mounted inside a sheets dispenser used for dispensing of the sheets, is disclosed. The inner container includes an aperture maintained by a substantially cylindrical collar. The collar is adapted to mount to a mounting means of the sheets dispenser. The collar is provided with a shaped profile adapted to cooperate with a corresponding shaped profile provided on the mounting means.
